coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 04/11/2011 7:04 pm I'll guess VF-25 or 30? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/11/2011 9:53 pm Nice coin, I think it might just make VF-30. Report this Post to the Staff
rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 12:16 am I'd say VF-30 also, but is anyone noticing the almost vertical cleaning marks on the obverse? They go up toward 11 o'clock position. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 01:08 am I'd say VF-25 and I'd agree the obverse has been rather harshly cleaned leaving vertical hairline scratches. The reverse seems to have mostly escaped the abrasive cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff

Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 01:28 am Sadly I think those marks may have been from me, I cant remember for sure, but I think I may have tried to wipe this coin off with my shirt several months ago before I learned how to treat coins. I think the whole coin was the same color before I got at it. But that was before I learned from everyone here. Stupid me :( Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 02:08 am We learn from our mistakes Cali_Nick. Sit this one on a unpainted wooden block for a few months where it can get some sunshine and fresh air (but not outdoors) and she should re-tone a bit. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
